Through a looking glass,
the world without us.
The ocean at the end of the lane,
where the wild things are.
Bird by bird,
gorillas in the mist,
the soul of an octopus.
From ridgetops to riverbottoms,
animals in translation.
Caught by surprise
Falling for you,
More than words can say,
Just like the movies.
This is what happy looks like.

Hope you like something dark.
My lovely wife,
in a dark dark wood,
good as dead,
grotesque...
cover her face.

#poetrymatters #Story
A Story by Li-Young Lee which I found on poetry.org.
Come the night, good girls don‘t speak
Savor the moment
Cherished
Spellbound.
Come the dawn, hard truths, betrayals
Shattered
Haunted.
Curse the dawn.
#spinepoetry first attempt
Waiting for the moon, a certain age
Echo my life next door
I‘m happy for you

Repost for @TheSpineView :
Here is the #poetrymatters prompts for June. I loved your May poems. You guys totally out did yourselves! So excited to see what is in store for next month. Day 29 and 30 are hard to read. They are Smile and Fresh, respectively. Enjoy!

Meet this lovely poet Sahil Shokeen at #BookExpo. Here is a sample of his work.
I snagged this wonderful anthology of poetry and the wonderful Cautlyn Siehl one of the contributors signed it for me. #poetrymatters

I just went to post a blurb about my afternoon reading and discovered a hilarious little book title poem in my currently reading list!
With the fire on high
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Inspired the Hebrew Bible

This is on my TBR list. Has anyone read this book of poetry?
Electric Lit delivers poetry via email every Monday. This is an excerpt from Emma Torzs's poem, January.

I found this poem at Hello Poerty. I liked the different take on sand.

I love how some poems can sometimes be so simple but have beautiful imagery and invoke intense feelings.
